1MPoUNDED COSTUMES
A New York Theatrical ROW with Local
tachments.

Attachments.
A short time ago large stock of theat-
rical costumes were placed in Van Syckles
warerooms on Montgomery street for stor-
age. Shortly after the delivery of the
goods at the warehouse, Moses Finkel,
member of the London Hebrew Opera
Company Y, which came from Europe under
engagement to perform in this count ry,
entered replevin suit to secure the goods,
claiming that he was the owner OF them,
and gave bond in the sum of SIS, 900
upon the commencement of the
suit. Finkel claims that the opera COM
pany entered into a contract with Max
Rossngarter and Philip Drezdewitz, theat-
rical managers, to clay in cities through
out this country. He discovered tha5 the
contract of engagement was too much in
favor of the managers leaving the company
at their mercy, and a misu adt rstanding
arose between the managers and the COM
pany. Then Finkel endeavored to secure
his costumes. but found that one S..
Gassel, a brother-in-law of Rosen
garter, one Of the managers, claimed
mortgage of 81, 1000 on the goods.
While Finkel was having papers prepared
in New York to cancel the mortgage. the
goods were removed, under pretense of
foreclosure of the mortgage, as Finkel
claims. to the house on Henderson street
in this city, OF Mr.. Hymns, who, it is
claimed, is relation of Rosengarter. The
goods have since been removed to Van
Syckles ware-rooms. Since these proceed
ings were had, Rosengarter and his partner,
Drexdewitz, have had Finkel and others OF
the Opera company arrested the ground
of conspiracy, claiming That they were IN
duced by Flnkel and his partners to adj
vance 81 900 to transport the Opera COM
pany to this country. Finkel and his as
sociates were discharged last Tuesday, but
the parties are still fighting for their
riohts

his last issue he made declaration that the
Essex County Trades Assembly has urged
the two Labor members of the legislature
to have Erastus e. Potter, the Morris
county school teacher, made United States
Senator because of his long and untiriDg
devotion to the cause of labor. This very
patent device OF Mr.. Honeyman's to in
duce the Labor men to throw away
their votes in the approaching Joint
Meeting on Potter is promising

General Sewell, has proved it impossible to
capture the votes, and that>he hopes as the

Assembly has done nothing of the kind.
The Essex Trades Assembly refused, on the
other hand, to do it. At the meeting of
the body last Wednesday evening, resolu-
tons commencing Carroll and Donohue
''fer their dignifed and patriotic course"
in the Legislature were declared out of or
der by Chairman Friel, on the ground that
politics had no place in the discussion of
the Trades Assembly. The decision was
appealed from and on the appeal, sus-
tanned. Subsequently communication
from E. h. Folmer, urging the selection of
Erastus E. Potter for United States Sena-
tor was declared out of order for the same
reason, and that ruling was sustained. We
say this not with theidea that the Labor As
semblymen will be influenced in the small

representations; but only to keep the facts
in the case straight.

THE GRAHAM CASE.
Views of States Attorney Patterson and Mrs
Molloy's Lawyer.

Springfield Mo- Special.
On the arrival of the Globe Democrat contain
ing the report of the alleged fact that Sarah
Graham is still alive, the correspondent went at
to the Office of Prosecuting Attorney Pat
terson and found him already analysing the ar
ticle and looking through his voluminous papers
and correspondence bearing upon the case
II had heard of the report several months
ago" he said, 'but it is simply preposterous The
report was that Mrs. Sarah Graham with
her brother, soldier in the regular army, at
Vancouvers Barracks, on the line of Washing

name is Gorham), and he replied, denying the
report but saying that he was aware that par

Molloy farm, in Greene county, which is untrue.

THE HOUSE.
Pension Bills Passed-Mr. Mcpherson Elk

More Vetoes from the President--Passage of
the "Fourth OF July' Claims Bill
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The Speaker laid be-
fore the House a message from the President re-
turning without his approval, bill granting
pension TO Cuthbert Stone. In his veto message
the President stated that the army records show
that the claimant spent most of his term of en-
listment in desertion or in imprisonment for de-
sertion. THUS" says the President, "is exhib-
tied the long and faithful service and high char

facts before me true, the allowance of this

In vetoing the bill granting pension TO Abra-
ham T. Grigg, the President quotes from the
hospital records to show that the claimant was
not sick, but completely worthless, obese and
lazy. The President does not regard il as

PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPERIENCE.
The Strange Adventure of Rev. MIR. Ray
mond's Baggage Check.
Boston Special.

Boston Special
Psychological experiences have become de-
cidedly fashionable at the Hub of late.
Whether this is attributed to the vogue of the
Theosophical Society during Bishops visit, or
the influence of Rider Haggard's thrilling tales,
it is not easy to say, but the fact remains that
the most recent event of this kind that has set
people wondering Is the experience OF the Rev.
Mr.. Raymond, principal of st. Marks Academy.
Mr. Raymond is scholar and a clergyman of
high reputation and unimpeachable veracity.
Here is the story as he told it to q correspon-
dent:

the Superintendent and l made another thor
ough search in their presence. It could not be
found. was then required to describe the con-
tents of the trunk, produce the keys and have
my description verified. Finally, after paving

Is Marriage a Civil Contractg

Judge Sloan, OF milwaukee,.
From early times in Jurisprudence marriage
has been considered in some sense a civil con-
tract. In own State the Legislature has
fit to declare Ia just many words that
marriage a civil contract While it is true in
one sense. perhaps, that it is, especially SO by
legislative declaration, l have never believed
until this argument, and perhaps can say do
not believe it is civil contract, like any other
contract 1t has little of the elements of a con-
tract If it is like any other civil contract it may
be entered into at any time, and in any form,
and may be dissolved at any time and in any
form. If it is civil contract in the proper sense
of the word it may be entered into by proxy,
and the recent marriage in Chicago would be in
deed legal in that view of the case. If it is like
any other contract it may be assigned, and the
assignee may bring an action for breach of con-
tract, or for divorce; therefore should have
the unwonted spectacle of one man suing anoth-
er, the plaintiff being the assignee of she
tract for breach of promise of marriage. lit is
civil contract the parties may enter into it

the cause of too much boom! 1t was
doomed by the papers and doomed
by the people, till prices were hoist
ed as high as steeple. They plas-
tered the land with mortgages deep,
and burdencd the town with taxes SO
steep. They paid a big bonus to
build a new road, and laid for the
suckers on whom to unload. But
the cash they snaked in from their
victims so rank was all gobbled up
by the "three per cent" bank. Its
officers skipped while the boom was
still high, and left the poor victims
to suffer and sigh!
But alas for their hopes, they sigh in
vain; they will never look on their
like again. The boom has Aatten-

Canada trip was sorry joke. And
the mortgages stick to that fated
town, for that which goes up must
surely come down. And though
they may brag of their excellent
"parks," the suckers fight shy of the
real estate sharks. And the ad. in
the paper has had its day, for the
agent who wrote it omitted to pay.
